Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Oct 2015 Posts: 5 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Oct 2015 Posts: 5 | I am posting this for my Dad, a retired farmer. He has an old redi-mix truck that was converted to a grain truck. He acquired it back in the late 70's. He is starting to filter out machinery and equipment these last few years. It is a 348 4brl. The frame has been stretched and the fenders are lil rusty. All this said, been the go to rig since I was young. He is hoping that someone has a home for the "old girl" since it has been a great piece to the operation through the years. I have pictures available if someone has some interest or knows of someone that will. Please do not hesitate to contact or post here. Interested parties will get a phone # to speak to the man that knows all .... Thanks...

Our little bit of research tells us that it was made from 56-59 or somewhere in there and many were scrapped out over the years. It's quite rare I believe. Title in hand and runs drives, power steering and the 348 is a beast. What's it worth? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,159 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,159 | Hi,Wayne! AWESOME set-up! Can you tell me the make,and model number,on the "Power Divider"? I'm trying to find a way to turn a '48 1-ton,into a 6X6,with '48 2-ton frame,'72 running gear! The set-up on your truck looks like a "No Nonsense" approach! Thanks for Sharing!

The gear ratios are 1:1 (direct), 1.22:1 and 2.22:1. They have one input shaft and two outputs (one to each rear). The rear rear is only engaged for off road use.

I will post when I receive. I'm guessing Mike has proper info as he seems familiar with the driveline... | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,159 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,159 | THANKS,MIKE!! Do anyone know the model #,of the CCKW transfer case? Wayne,what I'm most interested in,(besides the transfer-case),is the position of the rear differential housings. They do not appear to be off-set,as most tandem rears are. Could you possibly get your Dad yo post some pic's of the tandem set-up?? THANKS!! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,061 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,061 | Hy wetwilly5757, that truck uses two identical corporation differentials 16000 lb. if I remember correctly, there is a pillow block mounting on the top of the front diff. which allows the driveshaft to pass over to the rear differential, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,189 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,189 | Dito 3B other than they are 15K axles...

I had a 59 10400 that was almost a twin (to look at) to this one. It was a single drive with a tag axle though. | | |
